@Juno231 so sorry you've got a BFN, I have everything crossed for you for next month! @glowingtwig congratulations!

Ladies, I used a FRER this morning with FMU at 12 DPO and there's a very faint line. I think it's too faint to be anything though as I'm sure at 12 DPO it would be far darker. Thoughts?

mumof23188 · 06/08/2020 08:56

@lucyrp I’m so sorry you aren’t having any luck 😩 I really hope you get a static!

@Juno231 sorry for BFN. definitely still early!

@Minster2012 so sorry for your losses. Life’s tough going sometimes 😩

mumof23188 · 06/08/2020 08:57

@2020mission that’s a definite positive!! Congratulations 😍

Juno231 · 06/08/2020 08:59

@2020mission no that looks perfect - congratulations!!

lucyrp · 06/08/2020 09:01

@Minster2012 yes they are laughing at me! No I rang the doctor yesterday and because I haven't recorded a peak on my OPKs the doctor said to cancel the bloods because he said it's likely I might have another messed up cycle 🥺 although I would expect ov to be soon as I've suddenly become very horny in the last 2 days ... 🤔

@2020mission omg congratulations!!

@mumof23188 thank you🙈

2020mission · 06/08/2020 09:03

Thanks all. I'm not getting excited yet as I had a similar line in January and had my period a few days later so might be the same thing again but I'll test again in a couple of days and see if it gets any darker. Sticking around with you all for now!

mumof23188 · 06/08/2020 09:08

@lucyrp that is just so shitty that the doctors aren’t helping. Fingers crossed it’s not another messed up cycle for you. Are you still taking the cheapies aswell?

Noble89 · 06/08/2020 09:08

Hi ladies,

Just checking in as I still like to lurk and see how you're all getting on!

Congratulations to all those with BFPs! Hopefully we'll see you over on the grad bus soon 😊.

@2020mission that BFP looks perfect for 12DPO to me 😊

@lucyrp definitely test twice a day with CB. When I was TTC last year I had a month where I was only testing once a day and just got flashy smileys no static. Once I switched to twice a day I always got my static in the evening. Same this time TTC, never got a morning static only the evening. If you've only tested morning you may have missed it or you may still be a few days off. I got my static on the 9th day of smileys the month before my BFP. Have you had any other symptoms of ovulation to suggest you may just have missed your LH surge testing once a day? Any EWCM etc?

Katao · 06/08/2020 09:12

Congratulations @2020mission maybe you ovulated a little later than you thought? Fingers crossed for you, hope you get a stronger line in a couple of days to reassure you.

@KateColx I'm seriously thinking of joining you on the relaxed approach. I'm fed up of tracking! After 2 messed up cycles (42 days, then 20 days) it feels pointless. I poas everyday this cycle!!! I had to keep doing opks to be sure after multiple peaks the previous cycle. OH thinks I should track for one more cycle so I have the information for the doctor if its it's another abnormal cycle but I'm more thinking either go to the doctor now or just stop tracking and leave it to fate.

MrsCrumbtious · 06/08/2020 09:12

@2020mission that’s a defo BFP! Congrats 🥳

My 12dpo test with my daughter looked exactly like this 🥰

lucyrp · 06/08/2020 09:15

@mumof23188 yeah I'm still doing ICs aswell but nothing really standing out too much on those

@Noble89 well I had some short cramping yesterday dinner time and felt very horny last night. I never really notice EWCM as such I just feel wet I've never seen it clear and stretchy. I've been doing cheap OPKs the last few days twice a day to see if I notice anything on that and I posted a pic of them yesterday il post it again now for you to see. I totally forgot I could rest twice a day with cb il do an IC at dinner time and then do an IC and CB at tea time today

2020mission · 06/08/2020 09:15

Apart from having 3 Brazil nuts every day after ovulation, guess what the only other thing different this month was?

You guessed it, I scoffed a bar of Oreo dairy milk chocolate 😂

mumof23188 · 06/08/2020 09:21

@lucyrp yes the only one that looks nearly peak is yesterday’s at 1ish. I always find around ovulation I’m mega horny!

2020mission · 06/08/2020 09:26

@lucyrp I've never had a higher OPK than reading than 78% so I had to rely on other signs like CM and being in the mood. Sorry you're having unclear OPK results, if I were you I'd just keep DTD every second day to make sure you cover when it does happen 🤞 don't worry about not getting a full peak result

blodyn91 · 06/08/2020 09:30

@2020mission congrats! Not your first? Im a bit in shock still and ate brie yesterday and braised steak in red wine, then thought am I suppose to do this? Managed to stay away from the pate. So hard when all I want to do is ask my sister!

@Minster2012 so sorry about your grandparents. As somebody else said, better wait till the emotional stress of funerals are over before trying IVF. Unfortunately the barn is taking forever for the vendor to make a decision as there are 6 different lots. If we get it, we are definitely applying for grand design 🤣 Not going on holiday anymore, too risky with COVId atm to book. Plus if we get the barn we need the money 🙈
@lucyrp remember you ovulate 12-36 after onset of LH surge, not from peak, so doesn't really matter if you miss the peak as long as you get a surge. I would get those bloods done.

@Sausage1990 diolch 🤗 and thanks to everyone for your congrats. Im still away so not able to catch up properly. Took another IC today and line is stronger 💪

2020mission · 06/08/2020 09:32

@blodyn91 it's my first, I am in shock but still don't really believe it. I've not got any wine in so luckily there's no temptation there 😆

Ltay2 · 06/08/2020 09:37

@KateColx Ahh thank you! I'm feeling ok so far, boobs are slightly tender but nothing really too noticeable and I'm sooo tired! Ever since I got my BFP I've been really anxious about something going wrong but trying to stay positive as nothing at all to point to anything wrong! I can definitely see the advantages of not worrying over OPKs and tracking everything, hopefully this is the cycle for you 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@2020mission I can definitely see a line there, didn't even need to open the picture!! So funny, I added Brazil nuts and Oreo chocolate to my TWW this time too 😂

@blodyn91 I got so confused with what I could and couldn't eat so I've screenshotted all the food pages from NHS website and saved them in a separate image folder on my phone! Actually gutted I can't have a nice medium rare steak when we go out (to a steak place as well!!!) on Monday 😬

lucyrp · 06/08/2020 09:40

@mumof23188 yeah that's what I thought 🤔

@2020mission yeah that's what I'm thinking just going to DTD every day or every other to make sure any instance is covered but I'm not going to know how many dpo I am or even when to expect af at this rate 🙈

@blodyn91 well I think I have to cancel the appointment myself I don't think the doctor does it for me so I may just go anyway I'm not sure what to do

2alreadywantanother · 06/08/2020 09:48

Omg @2020mission no need to even squint I'm delighted for u.
Massive congrats x

Newbie0818 · 06/08/2020 10:30

Morning 🌼 and congrats to all the BFPs 🎉

I'm going to take a bit of a break from MN for a while as it's all getting a bit too much and I'm in a bit of a funk. Good luck and I'll catch up with you all soon 💕

blodyn91 · 06/08/2020 10:38

@2020mission sorry no odea why I thought you had one already. Im still at my parents but got a big bike ride planned today so managed to just drink water at the pub last night 😆 really want to tell my mam but going to wait another week to let it sink in.
@Ltay2 thanks. I need to do that. I have never thought about it beforehand as didn't want to get my hopes up.

@Newbie0818 a break is always good. Take care of yourself and make sure your GP takes you serious please xx

@Juno231 noooo I really was hoping you'd be joining me! My bbt twin

2020mission · 06/08/2020 10:59

@Newbie0818 you will get there 💕 take some time out and enjoy your anniversary 🥂

I actually do feel guilty for sharing that test photo on here as I know from experience how sad it can be to see others have some luck when you've recently got AF or BFN. Really sorry if I've upset anyone, but I have had a chemical with a line this faint 8 months ago, so it really might be nothing and you'll see me back trying again with you all next month.

I honestly did nothing different this month (other than the few Brazil nuts and Oreo chocolate) so it goes to show that it really is just like rolling a 🎲

LaceyMermaid · 06/08/2020 11:03

@Newbie0818 take care of yourself 😘
@lucyrp I’d still go you’ve got nothing to lose?!
@2020mission that’s fab congrats! I know what you mean but everyone deserves a positive so just enjoy your moment
@Juno231sorry for BFN what is your bbt doing now? There’s still hope I’m sure

2alreadywantanother · 06/08/2020 11:05

@2020mission dont be sill that what the bus is for. Although everyone seems to be getting pregnant around me I'm delight to see bfp on here esp for ones trying a few months. Gives me hope that that will be me soon 🥰

@newbie0818 hope ur okay hun. Think we all hit that brick wall at some stage. Go and enjoy ur anniversary and who knows, could be just wat u need xx look after urself x

SarahTTC2020 · 06/08/2020 11:11

Ah so much to catch up on!
@KateColx @Minster2012 lovely to see you pop up again but so sorry to hear about your grandparents Minster... Even when it's not exactly unexpected it's still tough. Sending love!
@Newbie0818 totally understandable, take some time and we will be here for you whenever you want
@2020mission congratulations! Don't feel guilty, I love to see bfps here even if it's not mine. Feels nicer here than the real world for some reason
